Sunspot pranced in place, half from nervousness and half from excitement. Today was the day! He was finally going to see his mate again, after all these years. He snorted impatiently as he did a little buck to shake off the nerves. Then in the distance, he noticed a figure. Her dark, star speckled coat and silver mane and tail seemed to give off their own light in an entrancing way. She strode confidently, with her head held high and he could tell even from this distance that she had the strength and wisdom of a rogue. It was his mate, Shimmer. Tears of joy welled in his eyes as his heart beat ten times faster. Finally they would be reunited.

OOC|Sorry if you wanted her to enter differently. That's just what he saw.

OOC: Not to worry! You should write what he's showing you, and it's perfect :D

Shimmer had always known herself; she wore her confidence like a cloak, and it wasn't feigned. She knew it was because of her heritage, and she had never suffered from self-doubt like so many others... until now. The feeling was so foreign it made her feel ill and confused. She placed one foot in front of the other, moving inexorably towards her mate in the distance. Fear, doubt and nervousness warred with excitement, warmth and love- she was in complete and utter turmoil.

They had spent so many years together and had been blessed with foals- yet now, since she had been re-bonded, she wasn't sure if that bond that they had shared would be as strong as it used to be. She still had yet to see her foals after all these years... what if they no longer cared for her? What if they felt abandoned by her? What if Sunspot felt the same...

The Gods only knew she had spent years searching for them- they, her family, were her one and only soft spot. She could do or say anything, be anything, with utter confidence and conviction, but when it came to her loved ones she often lost her footing. Not in front of others- never!- but secretly, where no one else could judge...

She could see his own brilliant coat from here with its sun-kissed features. The little filly inside her wanted nothing more than to race forward and nuzzle the living daylights out of her mate, but her cool reserve won out. She wasn't angry with him, never that, just unsure of her reception.

By the time she reached him her own heart was pounding wildly. She stared steadily at him, noting the tears. Could it be that he had missed her, just as much as she had missed him? Or was this something different?

Sunspot, I- she started, her voice quivering slightly, betraying her. She frowned. Now this had never happened before! She tried again, clearing her throat, trying to rid herself of this ridiculous nervousness, I...well, it's good to see you, she finished lamely, as she raised her head even higher, as if to compensate for her obvious case of the nerves. In a quieter undertone, she added I've missed you.

"I've missed you." As she said those three words he felt his heart nearly burst from all the love he was feeling. He saw her self doubt, knew she was uncertain. He wanted, no, needed to let her know it was okay.

She was still the strong, independent mare he had fallen in love with but he knew about her weak spot when came to her family, and he hated seeing her filled with such inner turmoil. So he took the last few steps toward her to begin nuzzling the life out of her.
